WorkCover

All South Australian employers must register with WorkCover SA – the state's workers rehabilitation and compensation scheme - unless they are exempt. 

By paying a WorkCover levy each year your business and employees are protected from the costs of a workplace injury. The levy varies depending on the industry and safety performance of your business.

It is a no-fault scheme aimed at compensating and rehabilitating an injured worker regardless of who is to blame.

Exemptions
